Two International Coaches, One Shared Passion for Jiu-Jitsu

Samir Zarrouki, originally from Canada, is a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with a strong focus on technique, detail, and control.

Whether you're new to grappling or returning after time off, Samir’s approach is both supportive and technical – ideal for building confidence on the mats.

Adil Salhi brings serious heat to the Cairns BJJ scene. Originally from France, Adil is a 5-time French National Champion with years of high-level competition under his belt. His coaching style is dynamic and pressure-focused, making him a fantastic mentor for anyone looking to sharpen their game or prepare for competition.
